Just yesterday I transferred 25-30 lbs of cycled rock to my display tank. The yellow tang soon afterwards wasn't darting around the tank as usual but slowly drifting in the middle of the tank and moving around just slightly.
This morning I found him landed on top a few rocks breathing rapidly and fins flapping quickly. I Put him in an acclimation box with and airstone to help recuperate. He wouldn't even move despite putting a net next to him or even me gently putting him into the acclimation box.
He has been eating extremely well still on the slim side but appeared ghastly skinny this morning. I've fed nori, brine mysis, pellets etc. regularly. Can't seem to figure out whats wrong here.
Just an hour before the new rock came in and I changed the aquascape he starts to lose it. ALL other fish are happily swimming around the tank and eating well, no issues whatsoever. My guess would be flukes or something along those lines but it came so quickly and the fact that I made a big change to the tank makes me inclined to think otherwise. I just can't let this guy go... It would make me sick to let such a beautiful part of the ocean perish...
